Also the trope of the protagonist slaughtering dozens on unnamed goons only to spare the main villain because, "killing is bad".
... Person B then takes Person C hostage. Person B proceeds to monologe about how stupid both A and C are. Cue armor piercing lens flair and person B falls away, stricken. Person A: Just As Planned.
But then they have to get killed by a meteor or something so persons A and B can still be rewarded for their moral superiority with victory in a way that doesn't compromise or evolve their characters in any way.
